From laser cooling to Bose-Einstein condensation

/ / ,
  • Importance of the quantum statistics (BE orFD)
  • Bose-Einstein condensation, coherence, Fermi sea, superfluidity, quantum phase transitions…
  • Links with condensed matter physics

A wide range of applications:

  • High precision spectroscopy (Doppler-free lines)
  • Quantum information and quantum computation
  • Metrology (fountains, optical clocks…)
  • New insights in condensed matter physics: Bloch oscillations, superfluid-insulator transitions, Cooper pairing, search for
  • Anderson localization… (new! observed in momentum space in Cs clouds)
  • etc…
